English

I do not know anyone other than the all-renouncing Shankara (i.e. Tyagaraja), who is of the nature of all gods beginning with Lord Guruguha.

He is devoid of the mental modes such as attachment. He delights in His own experience, revels in bliss, and manifests as the five elements, viz. earth, air, fire, water, ether.

He transcends the three Gunas, i.e. Satva, Rajas, and Tamas. He who is of the form of pure consciousness, and produces the differences between pairs of opposites, Sukha, Duhkha etc., is himself of the nature of highest Advaita and bliss. He is beyond the triad of the knower, the knowledge and the knowing. He whose three quarters of fom transcends the earth, He is unique. The mantra Tatvamasi is analyzed by Him. He is the harmonious union of individual and collective. His nature is of ultimate liberation, and shines as that which transcends the concept of Tatvamasi.

English

Oh mind, sing the glory of Tyagaraja, and cut asunder the three types of afflictions man has to suffer in this world.

You are the dweller in the lotus-like heart of Rajayogis. Your tender feet are worshiped by Nagaraja, the serpent king. You adorn yourself with Nagaraja as bracelets, and are the sovereign of the silver-peaked mountain Kailasa. Your face resembles the lotus.

You are worshiped by Indra and other Dikpalakas. You have the helpful beloved Nilotpalamba as your consort. You are the originator of Guruguha, Lord of the three worlds. You possess three eyes. Yours is the glory of emancipating us through different stages such as Salokya and liberation. You are Nilakantha, bequeather of good fortune. You are adorned with the trident, and are the bestower of auspiciousness. Creator of the universe of five elements, giver of unlimited boons, you are the supreme master of the lord of death, and bestower of eternal bliss.

English

My salutations go again and again to Lord Tyagaraja, he who is seated on the great throne, is the Lord of Katyayani and the protector of beings.

His lotus feet are worshiped by Brahma and other celestials, and His lotus-like face is in conjunction with the subtle intellects of the individual selves of the distinguished Yogis. He has goddess Parvati in his left half-body, the goddess who bestows material prosperity as well as salvation. His son is Guruguha. His banner is Tyaga, and he is the birthless one.

My salutations go to him the Somaskanda, worshiped my Mukunda and others. He fulfilled the ambitions of Mucukunda and other devotees. His image is reflected in the clear mirror-like minds of devotees. He is greatly renowned for bestowing liberation on all such as sages, birds, animals, and worms. Those who understand the true import of Agamas, Mantras, and Tantras are dear to Him. He makes all to realise God through the Muladharachakra. He is the basis for the mystic syllables A, Ka and Ta, and has permeated as Sat, Cit, and Ananda all beings, and is of the form of Sakala and Nishkala. He has the power to obliterate knowledge of duality. He pervades as the power in the shrine Vitanka.

English

I surrender to Lord Tyagaraja all the actions I have done, and those I have not performed, and I reach bodyless emancipation.

As supreme spirit, He assumes forms with different and opposite characteristics, such as enjoyment and meditation, enjoyment and liberation, renunciation and attachment.

As natural form and soul of the universe, as five elements, natural and changed form, as the registrar of human actions, as one in the hearts of the virtuous, he manifests as the sun and the moon, as one with dualism, Dvaita and Advaita, non-dualism. As the Lord of the universe, as the virtuous finite, as Devas and Guruguha, he is Sat, Cit and Ananda.

English

I am well-protected by Lord Tyagaraja, who is the nectar-like ocean of mercy.

He who is venerated with festivals and rituals such as Yaga etc., meditated upon by great ascetics, He is the cause of the origin of all beings including Himself. He from whom originated this universe and the other objects of enjoyment, he is Lord Shiva, bestowing pleasures of life in this world as well as salvation.

He whose feet are worshiped by Vishnu, the lord of Lakshmi, he is the cause for the five activities, viz. creation, etc. He who adorns necklaces, bracelets, and diadems, the one who originated the Hatakakshetra bears the heroic sword and armor. He whose inner self is blemishless vanquished Cupid, Kala the god of death, and the Tripura, etc. He is kindly remembered by Mahadeva and Guruguha.

The supreme King Tyagaraja shines gloriously.

The Lord of the universe is of the form of word and sense. He bestowed the desired boons on Lord Vishnu. He is the Lord of Ganesha and Guruguha, is worshiped by distinguished kings, and is self-born.
